Any way of finding out which gate i will be assigned to??

[Ricard]

I have a problem where i keep leaving the runway at certain airports only to be redirected accross it when i am told which gate to use, is there
anyway of finding out which gate i will be assigned to before landing??

Thanks in advance.

If that gets to be a huge problem for you, I would suggest that after you leave the runway and are on a taxiway, set the parking brake and
end the flight. I've done this after not knowing the airport layout and using the default ATC. I didn't feel like making 30 minutes worth of taxi
time on the other side of the airport. Sadly, you don't know which gate you'll be directed to by FS ATC until after you contact ground. If I see
that the terminal isn't too far from my position on the taxiway, I'll go park the aircraft in an empty gate...with or without FS ATC's
permission After all, it's not like the Feds are going to fine you for parking in a different gate

Park at an empty spot, thats actually a great idea.

Will Afcad2 editor tell me which companies park where, i could check before loading FS9 and just find an empty spot when i get there. If i
am flying United i at least want to park in their section of the airport.

If you use RC4 you can specify which runway and your preferred parking bay you want to use before you fly. Also using FS Navigator you
are able to magnify the airport you are going to land at and see which exit you will leave the runway and which taxiways to use to get you
to your requested parking bay. I hope this helps.

In short, yes.

This is assuming:
A) You have an AFCAD file with company parking spaces installed.
B) Your aircraft has parking codes corresponding to a company.
C) There is ample parking in those spaces.
D) Your aircraft will fit in one of those available spots.

I must admit that once landed, I do as FsP player rather than pilot. Means that

A) I don't want pens. So, I will as much as possible park near the center of the airport which lower the risk to be pointed on wrong airport.
( see http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/showth...8#pid63738 )

B) I wan't bonus. So I will try to keep in scheduled time and choose a gate fitting with the time left.

Default MS ATC assigns a gate but RC4 just leave me on the taxiway with a laconic "Taxi to the gate". Then the whole airport is mine
